Hi, I’m Carrie, and I have never owned a long sleeve flowy dress before. Howwww?? Whyyyy?? I love them so, so much, and will buying many, many more. Such a versatile, year-round piece!

Online Launch of Hazel's Haven
Just a little shout-out post to let you know about a friend’s new online launch. My friend, Meagan, and her mother, turned a longtime dream into a reality by starting and running their very own boutique, Hazel’s Haven, in Fort Smith, Arkansas just a few years ago. That dream has expanded, as they just launched
"O" is for October + OTK Boots
Happy October!! My favorite month!! So full of promise, as it’s just the beginning of the absolute best times of the year. Cooler temps, fireside snuggles, hayrides, pumpkin carvings, which all cozily lead up to the holidays, with the promise of lotsa family gatherings.

Easy Street to Fall Style
Can’t go wrong pairing simple classics, in my book. For this post, I pretty much put on almost every fall staple piece there is! Flare Jeans + T-Neck + Leather Jacket + Booties = No-Brainer, Easy Style. Adding a little fringe, to show you know how to have fun, can’t hurt. 😉 Turtleneck Tee: J.Crew
The Investment Piece
Umm, this jacket. This jacket was one of my recent “investment” splurges, because a) It’s gorgeous. b) It’s buttery soft. c) It fits perfect. d) It’s something I can wear year-round.

(I keep picturing 1950s, gum-smacking, ponytail-wearing, cafe-waitress, Texan besties. Or twins. I feel like I need to write a short story about
Warby Parker's 2015 Fall Collection
If you haven’t heard of Warby Parker (and even if you have), you’re in for a treat! They just launched their brand-spankin’ new Fall Collection, and asked if I could help spread the word by featuring and styling some of their chic, new styles on the blog, today.

The Skinny on Grey
Today marks the start of fashion week madness! I’m a tiny bit sad I’m not there this year, but if I’m really honest, I feel more relieved than sad (NYFW can be a super-cray B). I made the decision not to go, based on some big stuff going on here – stuff that I thiiiink

Preppy + a Pop o' Pink
Happy September!! ‘Tis the month of roller-coaster weather by day here, but always, always chilly in the evenings (I actually love that). So, I’m a prepster at heart, and am never not on the lookout for a good blazer update. Enter: Banana Republic’s Textured Knit Boyfriend Blazer, stage right. I love it in navy! The fit is
